If I'm not wrong sf23 is the only car with the lower lateral anti crash cone above the floor level (maybe Haas is the same), so if they would like to decide to move towards RB concept, they cannot.
It seems they are very confident and proud of their design... Which is not working.
IMHO it resemble the SF90 with weaker engine.
Why would they want to move to RB concept? How is their design not working exactly?
They had problems with both wings, which forced them to compromise the setup. Literally the simplest thing to do is to add wing downforce and Ferrari has as much room to add wings as RB, if not more. In terms of aerodynamics, chassis (without wings) and floor design are the best on the grid.
Hard to tell if RB is at exactly the same level, but both cars are very low drag and very efficient on aero. Core aero is not where the Red Bull has an advantage, unlike last year.

The problem is stupid by I think if they already replaced ECU before the race and they need to replace it again Leclerc will get some grid penalty, if I correctly understand the rules in that part.
That remains to be seen, it's not impossible both units can be salvaged. They will push like hell to finish that in 10 days, for at least one of them
